ATIH 2011 - can only back up sector-by-sector
I've been running ATIH 2011 for while with no problems. I usually do a daily incremental backup for 10 days, then have ATIH clean up and start over. I recently installed a 64gb SSD as my boot drive and was able to clone from my old hard drive with no issues.
Now if I look at the settings for any backup for the SSD drive there is a message underneath the drive that says "can only back up sector-by-sector". This message only appeared after installing the SSD. The old boot drive allowed normal incremental backups. Now it seems that all of the used sectors on the drive are getting backed up every day which makes sense for a sector-by-sector backup. The filesystem on the drive does not appear to have any errors so I'm wondering why it will only allow a sector-by-sector backup now. Is this normal for a 64gb SSD boot drive?
My system is Windows 7 Pro sp1, 64gb boot SSD, 1.5tb data drive (2x 750gb raid0) with most of the \User folder on the data drive. My only idea is to reinstall Windows from scratch and see if it has something to do with the system drive having been cloned.
Thanks for any idea how to get normal incremental backups working again.

Pat,
Thanks for confirming what I suspected, that ATIH doesn't like something about the way the SSD is setup. I do have a backup of the old disk, but due to the small size of the SSD I can't restore the entire thing, so it will probably be easier to reinstall Win7. Fortuantely it's a relatively new machine so reinstalling from scratch won't be too traumatic.
